Jesus once said to Mother Teresa in prayer, "When you give Me your sins, you give Me the joy of being your Savior. There is nothing I cannot forgive and heal; so come now, and unburden your soul." When we go to confession, we place our sins and our wounds into the purifying fire of the Heart of Jesus. Far from being a place of judgment and accusation, the confessional is intended to be a place of comfort, healing, and love. 

Reconciliation is celebrated regularly Saturday evening from 4:00-4:45pm and 30 minutes before all Sunday Masses. Additional times are posted during Advent, Lent, and a few other times during the year. See the Home Page for updated Confession times.

Children of second grade or older prepare to celebrate First Reconciliation. Students are expected to be enrolled in either Sacred Heart School or Wednesday evening Faith Formation Session here at Sacred Heart Parish. Parent involvement is an integral part of all of our programs. Parents are always, first and foremost the students primary teacher in learning to live their faith. Parents' involvement includes, but is not limited to, parent-child interaction at Reconciliation Learning Centers.  Reconciliation for these youth and families is celebrated within a December parish communal Reconciliation celebration.
